Nele Möller - “Alarming calls and whispering winds”: On game-calling instruments, mimicry and intersubjectivity. An audiopaper published on Seismograf 2025, vol. 33. as a part of the series ‘Sound and the More-Than-Human Worlds’.

Drawing from environmental semiotics and the onomatopoeic echoes of flowing rivers and rustling leaves, the audio paper urges a release from rigid human perspectives and explores the possibilities of attuning to the subtleties of more-than-human communication. It proposes mimesis and empathetic listening as tools to engage with our surroundings beyond extractivism and as an ambiguous practice that embraces failure to develop intersubjective experience and sonic fictions, while reconnecting with the rhythms and patterns of the more-than-human world.

New Drops: Jonas Olesen

This months update comes from danish composer and music researcher Jonas Olesen. He’s been around the game for many years with a deep knowledge of early media and pioneering music practices. Most recently he has released the book Else Marie Pade: Complete Electronic Works 1955-2012. The book provides the most comprehensive presentation of Pade’s electronic works to date.

Jonas has granted us nearly 3 hours of music related to his research, his imprint BIN aswell as his own compositional endeavours.

Broadcasting today at 20:00 CET: SHAPE+ mixtape

Marie Delprat (1991) is a musician whose work merges sound, visual arts, and performance. She explores the interaction between digital and analog media. 

This one-hour mix by Marie Delprat, artist of the SHAPE+ platform, weaves together moments of collaboration, improvisation, and introspection. It features pieces created with David Koch and Masha Ten, including tracks from Marytronics’ debut album Dull Star Doll, alongside excerpts from intimate recording sessions and live encounters. The broadcast closes with a piece from her solo performance Ethereal Realms – all fiction is metaphor, an immersive work exploring identity, transformation, and post-human presence. Moving between distortion and tenderness, emotion and resistance, the mix traces the fragile spaces where connection and desire quietly dissolve.

Marie Delprat is an artist of the SHAPE+ platform for innovative music and interdisciplinary art, co-funded by the EU and Pro Helvetia.

The Lake Radio x Seismograf: Selected audio papers.
Marie Ertner, Stina Hasse Jørgensen & Signe L. Yndigegn: ‘Voice as infrastructure ‘. An audio paper published on Seismograf 2023, vol. 30. as a part of the series ‘What Sounds Do’.

This audio paper explores the phenomenon of voice-based technology in the smart-home. Through ethnographic interviews we study how older people use voice-based technologies and with what effects for their experiences of the affective environment in their homes. We followed nine people over the age of 65 online and onsite in their private homes in or nearby Copenhagen during the covid lockdown.

The paper makes audible interactions between voices, technologies, and homes, to exemplify some of the infrastructural and affective effects of voice-based technologies. It combine the concept of infrastructure from Science and Technology Studies with a cultural anthropological view on voice.

🎼 Broadcasting today at 20:00 CET: The Lake Radio x Seismograf presents selected audio papers.

Ania Mauruschat: “The Heartbeat of the Drum. On the sonic agency of the Inuit Qilaat in the decolonization of Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland).” An audiopaper published on Seismograf 2023, vol. 30. as a part of the series ‘What Sounds Do’.

For over 4000 years, the Inuit in Kalaallit Nunaat, as Greenland is called in Greenlandic, have been living in an intimate relationship with nature in the Arctic. Their knowledge of how to survive under such harsh conditions has been preserved and passed on via sound through the millennia. For the Inuit, storytelling and frame drum singing and dancing have sonic agency. They give them the energy they needed to survive and thrive in the cold. The powers of these sounds and their misconception by missionaries and colonizers as addressing pagan or even evil forces led to the ban of the qilaat, the Inuit frame drum, from churches and public spaces. After the suppression of these sounds for around 300 years, in December 2021 Inuit drum dancing and singing has been inscribed as UNESCO intangible cultural heritage. But despite this huge acknowledgment, the fight for the revitalization of the qilaat is far from over, as the case of the Greenlandic ex-priest Markus E. Olsen shows.

OPEN CALL ‼️ OPEN CALL ‼️ OPEN CALL
Do you want a one-off program on The Lake Radio?
We are now open for submissions to our new Listener Series: “No WiFi Available”.

As streaming services grow bigger we’re putting more and more faith in this thing called the internet to sustain the archives of our common musical heritage. 
If one day, the internet would break and all your playlists, favorites, and internet radios were gone, what would you listen to? Maybe an old box of CD’s from your basement, the birdsong of your local forest or maybe you would meet with your friends and play cover songs from memory. 

We invite you, our listeners, to answer this question in the form of a radio program. 

You are welcome to submit a “traditional” music program or experiment with the format as much as you feel like.

Submission deadline January 31st 2026
📧 [email protected]

Selected programs will be broadcasted on Tbe Lake Radio throughout the spring of 2026.

We’re looking forward to listen to your shows!

"Loosing control over the creepers tonight, bruise them up like four to the floor, with the majestic 909 that kicks till broken squares shatter like glass. We make contact to a new galaxy of rage. No big city will sleep tonight. The Dominica, the amazonian will tear up the greed. Our sense of justice is a hurricane demanding a new world order. Cuz justice is missing."

Broadcasting today at 20:00 CEST: SHAPE+ mixtape from Pizza Noise Mafia.

Pizza Noise Mafia is a Brussels-based electronic duo made up of Matthieu Levet (Carrageenan, Carcass Identity) and Thibault Gondard (TG Gondard, Colombey). Armed with just a drum machine and a synthesiser, their minimalist setup hasn’t stopped them from getting crowds dancing—from illegal basement raves to major festivals across Europe.

Since the release of their debut album i canti della malavita in 2014 on the Belgian label Slaaploos, the duo has built a fierce live reputation, playing in iconic venues like Instants Chavirés, La Machine du Moulin Rouge, Le Trabendo (Paris), L’Ubu (Rennes), and Les Trinitaires (Metz). They’ve also lit up the stages of festivals such as Sonic Protest, Musiques Volantes, Schiev, Les 3 Éléphants, Villette Sonique, Idéal Trouble, and Frisson Acidulé, sharing lineups with artists like The Soft Moon, Pachanga Boys, Noir Boy George, Flavien Berger, Somaticae…

Their upcoming album—out November 2025 on Slaaploos— is a long journey through their ten years of electronic music: a nocturnal odyssey, hedonistic and ecstatic, but resolutely far from the techno motorway, along seldom-trodden and unpredictable paths.

Pizza Noise Mafia is an act of the SHAPE+ platform for innovative music and interdisciplinary art, co-funded by the EU and Pro Helvetia.

💌 Dear Listeners, this is a special message — we ask for your support in keeping The Lake the special place that it is.

For more than a decade, The Lake has been a home for sound, music, and storytelling beyond borders and algorithms — a space where voices, field recordings, and sonic collages coexist; where what plays next is always a mystery, even to us. We want to keep being a radio station that covers what most don’t and remain a relevant space for those who listen.

The Lake Radio is free for everyone (with an internet connection) and free of commercials, but keeping The Lake flowing isn’t free. Our main expenses are music rights, rent, and fees for our small editorial team. Much of what we do — the curation, the recording, the mixing, the stories — is powered by many volunteer hours and a deep love for sound.
To keep doing what we love, we ask for your kind help.

Your support — no matter the size — helps us:
• Keep our 24/7 stream alive
• Pay artists and rights holders fairly
• Maintain our studio in Nørrebro, Copenhagen
• Continue sharing new sonic worlds with the community

If you like what you hear, please consider making a donation today. You can support us with a one-time donation or contribute monthly through Patreon and PayPal. If you live in Denmark, you can also donate via MobilePay at 68866.

We are very grateful for all the contributions
